Benise brings his high-gloss flamenco-fusion to Skokie Friday at 7 pm, marking 25 years of his Spanish guitar spectacle. He pivots from fiery rumba to romantic boleros, folding in dancers and a tight band that hits salsa, samba, and rock detours. He is as showman as soloist, known to recast classic melodies and arena riffs with rapid tremolos and clean, percussive attack, turning a theater into a traveling postcard of Latin styles.
Event details
Its one hot night as Benise, The Prince of Spanish Guitar, celebrates 25 years of fiery Spanish guitar and dance. Armed with his Spanish guitar and a stage full of musicians and elaborately choreographed dancers, Benise takes the audience on a musical journey through Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, Parisian Waltz, exotic drumming, and more! The Emmy Award-winning composer along with an international cast of musicians and dancers will entertain audiences with a two-hour show that is an escape from all of their problems, Benise says. Beyond the new material, Benise says the live show will incorporate some fan favorites from my street performing days and rock classics like Led Zeppelins Kashmir and AC/DCs Thunderstruck. In addition, Benise adds his signature touch to classics such as Ave Maria, Moonlight Sonata, and Vivaldi's Summer from The Four Seasons.
